Vulnerable and naive, Jane came to depend on John, a good and trustworthy man whose influence led to her becoming one of the best loved and highly paid stars of the stage at the Ruby Lane Theatre. When Jane is confronted by Albert, a poor widower and father of four, her kindness in organising a handsome collection is not wasted and he too now turns his life around.
Touching lives wherever they go, this is an enchanting story of the life and times of working class people during the reign of Queen Victoria and their quest to become educated and able to achieve their own independent lives.
